This helicopter is able to listen outsife a building, show a video of people. That is very special.

this is a classic movie back in the days when it stood out as a movie about a chopper when the photography wasn't as good as it is todays,great action short and to the point.

I found it fitting that "Firefox" is recommended to accompany this film. But there are differences. An equally fitting choice to go along with this would be "War Games", which came out the same year and shared John Badham as the director. What this and "War Games" have in common and don't have in common with "Firefox" or this reviewer is a distrust of our government.
There are other things I didn't like about "Blue Thunder". It had unnecessary R-rated language. It had some sensuality that may entertain some, but it did not help me relate to or root for the characters.
I will say that it did include Roy Sheider, who has always been one of my favorite actors. Additionally, it introduced me to Daniel Stern, who I liked better in the "Home Alone" movies. Furthermore, it was an exciting thriller, with good (though sometimes improbable) action.
I'll close by commenting that it may be Badham saw or read "Firefox", and liked the concept of a super flying machine, but not liking the Russians being the bad guys, and remade the story to be more sleazy and to make the U.S. the villains. Too bad.

Still a great movie after all these years, and the commentary is priceless. Highly recommend.

If you're a "Blue Thunder" fan then this dvd is the only version for you.This special edition version is presented in it's 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio and remastered in high definition.The picture transfer and digital 5.1 sound are truly outstanding.The 5.1 sound breathes new life into this 1983 action classic and you get to hear Blue Thunder really roar.The movie stars Roy Scheider as the Blue Thunder pilot,Daniel Stern as his partner and Malcolm McDowell as the bad guy.The dvd contains bonus features such as commentary,theatrical trailer, storyboard galleries and making of featurettes.After comparing both dvd versions,in my opinion this one was the best.
